Because he broke his ankle? Jesus

Not a compound fracture like Dak's ankle…that's actually very good news for recovery.

Lol how could you NDSU?!

Should be recovering well in advance for TC and such. That's some sort of good news

Ultimately, he just needs to run well enough to be a threat to do so. If Lance is to become a quality starting NFL QB it will be because he eventually improves the quickness of his decision making and short/intermediate accuracy in the passing game. Leaning more into his run ability early on was not the end goal, but the starting point. We'll see what happens in 2023 to move him along that path. Here's to him recovering and improving as his snap count goes up.

So we spent three ones for a run threat.. and he doesn't run that well.. just needs to run "well enough".. that's comically bad. I thought we were getting a Mahomes rocket arm type player who could give you the off schedule everything is covered free run yards with a nice slide at the end. It's been explained to me nope we flipped three runs for a run threat.. who isn't that threatening with the ball in his hands.. and we are gonna run him into heavy contact a lot. It blows my mind we did this.

No, we spent three ones on a guy who could run threat and has the big pass ability. The problem with Lance right now (injury aside) is his short/intermediate game, not his deep pass. He needs to improve the short/intermediate so the deep pass becomes an even bigger threat as defenders need to cover all levels. In other words, he has an imbalanced game, and needs to find a better balance in his passing game. Until he does his running will be leaned on more.

They could have him abandon his running game in order to force him to work on his short/intermediate game sooner next year. Just be ready for a lot of INTs early on if they do that.

Ironically, if this was a worse team you'd likely see that. Some of the calculation with Lance's slower process was to protect a playoff caliber team from game killing turnovers. If the team did not have playoff aspirations Lance would likely be let loose to sling it far more.

No, because he is injury prone and is inefficient ( good decisions with poor execution).
He is not going to be able to make it in the NFL.
Great CFB QB, but will not make the transition to the NFL.
Cortez was right, he is worse now than he was at NDSU.

Im not thrilled about it, but lets be real here.

I am too. Not because of Trey but bc how they plan to use him. I'm a big Kyle supporter but Kyle should be banned from mobile QBs. The plan for Trey is awful, I was hoping it would be different this year but it was the same. He will be injured again. I am looking at 2024 draft class bc I think they will draft one or sign Cousins.

I am still on the side that Lance can be a good QB but the match with Kyle is awful. Let him go to a team like the Giants and let Daboll develop him. Let Kyle get his pocket QB and move on

Unless the gameplan changes. If that happens then I want to keep him

Syndemsosis injury is a concern for me.

I wanted to see the kid pass.

Was that too much to ask for?

Apparently a lot of people predicted 57 QB power plays a game with Trey

similar injury to Dak in 2020 and Trey didn't cry like a big baby like Dak 🤣
Dak came back and took the cowgirls to the playoff last season no problem but loses to Jimmy G at home last season 🤣

Trey is only 22, he will be back next season healthy and Jimmy G will very likely be gone and hopefully a SB winner, payback for all the money he already taken from the 9ers and will be earning the incentives if he does go far this season with the 9ers.

Can't really blame KS for running Trey, Lamar Jackson had 9 rushes for 119 yds and a TD just yesterday, running the ball is one of "young" Treys forte. I would blame Evil Pete and the seachickens more than anything for toxic coaching to hurt 9er players at all cost just to win, Pete is that evil and deserve to lose and retire in shame now Wilson isn't in Seattle anymore.

You.could also argue that Shanahan even said with his own words, "Trey is not Lamar". So why run him more? Trey was averaging 12.3 runs a game and was already injured once vs AZ last year where Kyle ran him too much.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Nobody said don't run Trey. Sporadic, mixed in with the passing game because he is, you know...a quarterback? Throwing is his first responsibility.

He's the Javon Kinlaw of QB's. Hopefully he'll give us something in the future (even though we needed him yesterday).

Odds are against him now. 3 years in a row with minimal football. It's highly likely he is never effective again and likely he will never be an NFL starter at this point.

It's sad. It's Marcus lattimore 2.0 but it happens.

Hopefully he fully recovers and doesn't have any permanent problems.

I do not think shanahan is a good QB coach. I think he's going to just run him in power again if he recovers.

He needs careful tailoring to force him to throw and only take what's given to him. He is not big enough athletic enough to be used how he was.

3 years of minimal football. Aaron Rodgers? Jimmy G?
